It is important for you to understand how your fantasy world runs. It would make things a whole lot easier to write a novel if you understand how things work in this world. I would recommend planning out some information before you start your writing journey. I have briefly discussed some other helpful tips for writing a fantasy book before too! 1. Think about the currency/currencies in your world, do you want it to use coins or something different? Just like the world we live in, you cannot travel to a place that doesn't need some aspect of currency, whether it is dollars, euros or something else. A very simple idea could be using buttons for a currency.
2. What are the jobs and their purposes? How respected are they in society?
3. This links to number 2, but what is the agriculture and crop growing like? How needed are the farmers? Do plants grow via magic, photosynthesis or something else?
4. How does the world work through trading, communication, travel and combat?
5. How big are the villages, cities and locations in your world?
6. Who are the Gods/deities in your world and how did they create the world. Are there any in particular who are of importance? Why, why not?
7. What could be some of the stories in your world that have been told and passed down for generations? Are they myths, truths or does no one know?
8. What is the education system like?
9. Plan your magic system! For example, it could be generated through energy, a magic crystal, a gift from a God, who may have gifted something to the living beings in order to help them exist in some way.
10. Think about the names of your locations, if needed I can do a separate post dedicated to naming a place.
11. Impacts of characters. Why is your character good for the world/bad for the world? Are they even necessary to the plot, if not, think about if they even need to be written about.
12. How is their food prepared and made?
13. What are the politics like through voting systems and laws etc? Who are the people in charge?
Switching between these every day
Cats are the truest love of my life. Men?
...meh.
Bitter and lonely straight men who feel unloved by women do not seem to understand that women do not love men the way they think women should love men. Women who love men romantically don't love them with admiration, as a wise authority figure or someone they can rely on like children rely on their parents and belivers trust in their god. They love men the same way that they love cats.
Their weird hairy little house gremlin whose thoughts and feelings are occasionally utterly incomprehensible and expressed in strange ways, but who still clearly tries, and still clearly loves. Women love them despite of the home renovations they unpromptedly do.
just remember, tense your shoulders, grit your teeth, take rapid shallow breaths and say to yourself ”oh shit, oh fuck, this is all my fault”
Why would I write when I could imagine my characters going through the story and then get upset when a copy of the work doesn’t magically appear in front of me
KAGEHINA MY LOVE
Sketch
I swear, i draw other things aside from kagehi! But i love them too much T^T

To all the people in my inbox tryna spam me out of my book ideas: trust, you do not want them. I don't even want those little shits.
Just your average queer writer, obsessed with a myriad of random BS that won't give me anything but amusement and happiness in life. 19, Minors please DNI.
